Dynatrace Cost & Carbon Optimization App Receives SDIA Certification

Dynatrace announced that the Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Alliance (SDIA) has certified the Dynatrace Cost & Carbon Optimization app. 

The certification focused on Dynatrace’s accuracy and transparency in calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and on-premises host instances. SDIA’s certification supports the effectiveness and reliability of the Dynatrace Cost & Carbon Optimization app and demonstrates how Dynatrace can help customers achieve their sustainability goals. The SDIA report can be accessed here.

The Cost & Carbon Optimization app delivers real-time insights into the costs and carbon footprint of an organization’s hybrid and multicloud ecosystem, offering optimization recommendations detailing how to reduce both costs and environmental impact. Today, more than 25% of all hosts monitored by Dynatrace OneAgent are reporting their carbon footprint to the Cost & Carbon Optimization app, highlighting the broad interest in IT carbon emissions awareness and reduction.

Max Schulze, CEO at SDIA, said, "SDIA concludes that the Dynatrace Cost and Carbon Optimization app is a reliable estimation system for calculating the operational GHG emissions of IT infrastructure in cloud and on-premises environments. The calculations and methodology used are in line with the best available scientific approach, meeting relevant reporting requirements. Dynatrace meets our requirements for transparency, enabling customers to understand the calculations and to recreate the results for independent verification."

"Understanding and minimizing environmental impact is a critical component of organizations’ strategies as they work to meet the needs and expectations of their customers, employees, investors, and the communities in which they operate,” said Steve Tack, Chief Product Officer, Dynatrace. “SDIA’s certification demonstrates Dynatrace’s continued focus on reducing our collective environmental impact and helping our customers – the largest leading enterprises around the world – to meet their sustainability goals.”

The Dynatrace Cost & Carbon Optimization app is available now.

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...

For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...

For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down.
